Spike (Concentrated Bullet Barrier)

CLASS: Transforming Manipulation
TYP: Physical
RANGE: LOS
TARGET: 6
DRAIN : F/2+2 M
DURATION: Sustained

Spike is a highly focused form of Bullet Barrier. The barrier is confined
to inside the barrel of a gun, doubling the effect of the spell. Any
bullet fired has to deal with a barrier raing of twice the force of the
spell. If the barrier rating of the spell is higher than the damage code
of the gun then the bullet is stoped inside the barrel causing a possibly
catastrophic misfire. In this situation the firer receives a wound of the
same rating as the shot would have normally caused. (Using the
Frag.Ammo./Misfire rules from the main rulebook)

pistola blows up in his hand

But how is it possible to cast the spell INSIDE the barrel, I think the
mage can't see it most of the time. Unless he's near enough. If the
barrier is directly in front of the barrel it would work also quite the
way it is intended to.

And it would really be a bad surprise anyway.

Could just fudge it and say that as long as you can see the gun you can
affect it. That only bends the rules a little bit.

Technically it could be a layered barrier at the end of the barrel. If the
bullet can't leave the barrel it would seem like the barrier was inside of
the barrel. Depending on how nice the GM is feeling the gasses from the
shot could then vent around the bullet at the end of the barrel. But
remember on the next shot. I would definitely cause severe damage to the
gun for any additional shots from a spiked barrel.
